for better backwards compatibility. This also means using path()
rather than filesystem_path() as the latter does not return protocol
paths.
Some protocol paths are not implemented (considered all that are
listed by grepping for '\.protocol_name' in QEMU):
- ftp(s)/http(s), which would access web servers via curl. This one
could be added if there is enough interest.
- nvme://XXXX:XX:XX.X/X, which would access a host NVME device.
- null-{aio,co}, which are mainly useful for debugging.
- pbs, because path-based access is not used anymore for PBS,
live-restore in qemu-server already defines a driver-based device.
- nfs and ssh, because the QEMU build script used by Proxmox VE does
not enable them.
- blk{debug,verify}, because they are for debugging.
- the ones used by blkio, i.e. io_uring, nvme-io_uring,
virtio-blk-vfio-pci, virtio-blk-vhost-user and
virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa, because the QEMU build script used by Proxmox
VE does not enable blkio.
- backup-dump and zeroinit, because they should not be used by the
storage layer directly.
- gluster, because support is dropped in Proxmox VE 9.
- host_cdrom, because the storage layer should not access host CD-ROM
devices.
- fat, because it hopefully isn't used by any third-party plugin here.
